A Novel Link Between Electron Transport Chain Modulation and mcl-PHA Production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa 5300 Using Azide as a Modulator. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThe oleic acid and azide inhibited the cytochrome c oxidase activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa MCC 5300, shifting the electron flux towards bd‐oxidase. This resulted in more NADH consumption to maintain the proton gradient for energy generation. The rapid depletion of NADH triggered high mcl‐PHA accumulation.
